Private Intrinsic Factor Testing recommendations

[Bunny12345678]

Could anyone recommend a company for IFAB testing please? I've been looking all day, I can only find Medichecks.

Bloodtestlondon.com does a walk in service but twice the price of medichecks. X

Not quite sure why you want to do an IFAB test - it's a notoriously insensitive test so you might need to do it a number of times before it gave a positive and you would need to make sure that you didn't have injections or supplement too close to the test (could be 48 hours could be 2 weeks depending on the exact test method.

Not sure it is worth the expense

Cyrex 5 includes IFAB but will be expensive. Micki Rose has her own basic autoimmunity test but it looks like it includes parietal cell but not IFAB. Micki is quite happy to help you decide which (if any) tests to do, so you could just email and ask her, depending on what you are hoping to find out and what you are then going to try to do about it. In the past I have 'picked' my own test and then found that I could have found out more another way and wished I had asked first. Her autoimmune page is purehealthclinic.co.uk/auto... and here's the B12 page in case you feel like some reading! purehealthclinic.co.uk/?s=B12. Best wishes
